Booting with Grub worked fine on the nForce based MSI K7N420pro with Bios Versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4, but stopped working with 2.5 and upwards. Asus nForce boards seem to have had this problem from the beginning from what i can tell from newsgroups.

A "Selected Item cannot fit in to memory" while at the same time recognizing 1024MB of memory somehow seems weird :-)

Please fix that, grub is just to great to continue using LILO :-)

Yours sincerely,
Gerald <grubbug@nv-systems.net>

I have both motherboards A7N266-C and A7N266-E and can report the same. Grub reports lowmem to 512KB (instead of 640). I think that's the problem.

This error occurs on boot:

error 28: Selected Item cannot fit in to memory.

There is good info here, as well as the search "grub a7n266-vm" on google.

Basically, grub refuses to boot Linux with a nforce board. I just upgraded my PC and it will not boot RH 7.2, but gives that error. It WILL boot Windoze 98.

If you need more info, feel free to contact Lothsahn_SPAMSUX@NO_SPAM_yahoo&SPAM*.com

Thank you for your time, and for working on such a great program.
